Photos from Blonde (Rita's HiHi)
Here's some pictures of Blonde, most are at our friend's house in NM where she learned about snow! As you can see, they have lots of property, five dogs, and she loved to run free with the pack. We had one anxious time when she disappeared on her own for about 15 minutes and we went frantic trying to find her, but pretty soon here she comes from the area that we had gone for a walk in that morning…seemed to say “So what’s the big deal?” (Crazy mutt!)
She is getting better all the time...the more tired we make her, the better she is!
She has the gentlest mouth in taking treats…never snaps or lunges; however, we are still working on her possessiveness with rawhide. Only rawhide, not other toys, and this is something we really have to overcome, but we are gently moving through it and know it could take several more months.
We’ve had her since Dec. 11th, and she is not the same dog. We’re still waiting for that one day when the light comes on bright and we know she has fully bonded, and know it will come soon.
Happy trails,
Rick & Mary

Rita's Mitchell adopted!
Congratulations to Rita's Mitchell, who has found a new home with Kathy and Don, and their dogs, Princess and Russell.
Mitchell was a last minute addition to the most recently group of Goldens who came from Taiwan. We were told he was very scared and shy and afraid of quick movements and loud noises. We were pretty surprised at how outgoing he was when the Welcome Waggin' met him - he was a very happy, wiggly guy who looked like a puppy. He went home overnight with Elaine and John M. and then spent a couple of days at Culver Palms waiting for his foster family to open up. New fosters, Bill and Mary J. agreed to let Mitchell hang out with them and their Lab, Savannah. Mitchell enjoyed his time with Bill and Mary, and when their scheduleds change he moved over to my house to wait for his forever home.
Kathy and Don have two other mixed breed dogs and were missing having a Golden in their home and lives. They have rescued dogs in the past and it felt natural for them to turn to GRCGLAR for their next pup. One of their dogs, Russell, is quite shy, so they are used to dealing with this and have a nice, quiet home for their dogs - they felt they could provide a wonderful environment for Mitchell. They came out to meet Mitchell and he agreed - he got along great with Princess and Russell and he was very happy to hop in the car and go home with them. Kathy reports he is doing well, he and Russell have been playing chase and he is also entertaining himself (and the rest of the family) with ice cubes, toys and rearranging the area rugs. They are delighted to have Mitchell as a new family member and have renamed him Bow - he is quite bow-legged!
Mitchell is so thankful to Rita and MJ for getting him healthy and sending him to CA, and to Barbara D. for agreeing to welcome him here. He is happy to have received such a warm welcome by the Welcome Waggineers. He is grateful to Elaine and John M. for letting him spend the night after a long flight, and to Bill and Mary J. for fostering him. He also thanks Jennifer G. for finding him this terrific home. We forgot to get a picture, but Kathy promises to send one soon.
Welcome home Mitchell!

Update & photos from Lily & Travis
Attached is Lily's (Rita's Lilly) and Travis's (Rita's Elvis) Christmas picture in our backyard. This was not posed...they both got up on the bench without prompting and posed for a picture.
Lily and Travis are wonderful and always part of our family. They get along very well with each other and love to wrestle and fetch tennis balls (they live for affection, food and tennis balls!). They both seem to have a definite bed time especially Travis. Around 9:00 PM each night his eyes are heavy and he becomes a boneless furry dog. He sleeps on our bed and Lily sleeps in my daughter's bed each night. They are allowed on the family room furniture and beds and they certainly like soft places to lay down. Travis is very much a lap dog as he insists on being on one our laps in the evening in the family room. Make reading the paper somewhat challenging but fun and relaxing.
Lily likes to be with someone all the time. She is in training to be my 'Garage Dog' - not wander away when I am working in the garage with the door open. So far she is doing great. Travis likes to sit in a chair during the daytime so that he can watch - and bark from the comfort of his chair.
We love Lily and Travis!
Thanks,
Terry

Update from Rita's Mimi, now called Maddy
From Maddy's adopter...
OMG, what a special dog Maddy is...thank you SOOOOO much for letting us bring her into our home. Joel gave her a shower yesterday and I must say, it was very funny to watch. Maddy loved it and so did Joel. Her coat is so shinny and she smells great. She is very special and has brought us such joy already. Thank you, thank you...I'll keep sending pictures as her life goes on in Palm Springs.
Best Regards,
Bari

Update from Rita's Mimi
From Mimi's adopter...
WOW!!! What a wonderful dog. My wife hasn’t let her out of her sight. She just adores this dog…what a happy ending. She has been renamed MADISON or MADDY for short, seems to love every aspect of her new environment…again, what a great find for us. Over the next few days I will be sure to send some pictures.
Please express our thanks to everyone at GRCGLARESCUE…a great organization!
All our best,

Rita's Mimi adopted!
Congratulations to Rita's MiMi, who has found her forever home with Joel and Bari last night!
MiMi was found by Rita & MJ abandoned in an alley near a night market where she stayed for 10 days waiting for her owner to return but never did. Hard to imagine that anybody could have abandoned such a sweet girl who captured the hearts of her foster family and Joel and Bari.
Lifetime Golden owners and lovers and former adopters, Joel and Bari were heartbroken over losing Rikki about a year ago. They finally decided that another Golden was definitely a must for them. After meeting MiMi last night, Joel was totally smitten and MiMi hung out with him next to his side. She hopped off in their car and headed out to start her new life as a Palm Springs gal!
MiMi is so thankful to Rita & MJ for finding her, takin her in and flying her to CA. She's grateful to Barbara D. for approving her trip to us, and to the Welcome Waggin' who gave her such a warm welcome at the airport. MiMi is very thankful to Debbie G. and her family who fostered her and gave her a safe loving environment in preparation for her adoption. Much thanks to Sanya for the home visit. Pictures to follow soon!

Rita's Lecca adopted!
Congratulations to Rita's Lecca, who has found her forever home with Mindy, Charlie and Chelsea!
Lecca was found by Rita & MJ in a shelter in October. They made sure she was healthy and as she spent more time in her foster home she became more and more playful. She was quickly ready to come to the US, and arrived here in early January 2011. Tom W. offered to take her home overnight after picking her up at the airport, and she turned out to be such a sweet and easy girl that he offered to foster her through adoption (despite having two other foster dogs!) Last week when we had some warm weather, we learned that Lecca loved to swim!
Mindy, Charlie and Chelsea lost their labs about a year ago and finallyy decided they were ready for another dog. Mindy contacted me about Lecca and they seemed like a great fit - they have lots of time to spend with her, a wonderful yard and.....a pool! Tom set up a meeting at their home and Lecca immediately decided she was in heaven. She fell in love with this family, and they with her. Tom got the following email from Mindy:
Hi Tom,
Thank you so much for the pictures of Lecca and our family. She is settling in and I am afraid I have exhausted her with our morning walk already. Today we walked what I hope will be our ritual: to the top of Canoga, which is pretty steep, back down to visit the horses and over to the Llama lady's house. Beverly who runs a ranch in the area let her horses and donkey come up to the gate to visit Lecca. Neither one really knew what to do with the other they all just stared at each other for a while. Lecca especially loved the Llamas. She seemed to think that she was the boss but kept her distance and was grateful for the fences and gates.
We are trying to figure out a new name but haven't found one that sticks for all of us yet. I'm voting for an Alaskan name of a town like Sitka, because that's my favorite place and I will be taking her up there this summer.
Again, thank you and your agency's work. We are so happy Lecca is ours and we will keep you up to date.
Mindy
Lecca is so thankful to Rita & MJ for finding her in the shelter and sending her to CA. She's grateful to Barbara D. for approving her trip to us, and to the Welcome Waggin' who gave her such a warm welcome at the airport. She will always remember Tom and the gang for giving her a place to hang out until she found this most fabulous family (and for letting her swim!). And she also thanks Elaine & John for doing the home visit so this match could happen. Attached is a picture of her new family. Welcome Home Lecca!

Rita's Larry adopted!
Congratulations to Rita's Larry, who has found his forever home with Dave B. of Coto de Caz.
Larry was found in a Taiwanese shelter suffering from heartworm. Rita and MJ helped him recover and sent this beautiful boy to CA. He was sooooo excited when he arrived at the airport. When we were deciding which dog was going home with each of the foster homes, Larry was left and I took him home - everyone was laughing thinking I was taking on a wild child, but this boy is the sweetest dog! He was so well behaved in my house. And he dances - we called him Happy Feet (like in the movie) or Fred Astaire.
Dave lost his last dog about 3 years ago and it has taken this long for him to get over her and be ready to bring another pup into his life. We talked about Larry and it sounded like they would be a great fit together. Dave drove up from Coto de Caza yesterday to meet Larry and could immediately see what a great dog he was. Larry took to Dave right away as well. Dave took him out for a walk, and Larry didn't want to come back in the house (this is the dog who I thought was so attached to me - go figure)! Larry said to him, "you know you're hooked, let's get this paperwork done and get outta here!" Which they did. Larry happily jumped into Dave's car and off they went. Dave reported that Larry, now named Duke, is settling in great.
Larry thanks Rita & MJ for finding him in the shelter and getting him well and sending him to CA. He's grateful to Barbara Davis for approving his trip and to the Welcome Waggin' for giving him such a great reception at the airport. I think he was happy to stay with me for a bit, but he sure did jump in that car fast! He does thank Mary Crawford for finding this terrific home for him, though. Welcome Home Duke!

Rita's Puffy adopted!
Congratulations to Rita's Puffy, who was adopted by Sharon and Roy of Los Angeles.
Puffy was dropped off at an animal shelter in Taiwan, suffering from heartworm. Rita and MJ found her there, got her healthy and asked Barbara if she could come to CA - of course Barbara said yes. Puffy is a happy girl with lots of energy and she always has a smile on her face. She loves her toys, especially tennis balls. She has that beautiful, soft coat so many of the pups from Taiwan have and with her social personality everyone she meets loves to pet her (which she eats up!)
Sharon and Roy lost their golden to cancer recently and felt it was time to add a new fuzzy family member. Puffy looked like she would be a good fit and her foster mom, Jessica, agreed. She took Puffy over to their home and the whole family was charmed. The housekeeper (who often walks the dogs) came in on her day off to meet Puffy as well - they all wanted to make sure she'd be a good fit for everyone. Puffy approved of them and the family fell lin love with Puffy (was there ever any question?). Puffy, now known as Jenny, is settling in nicely. Other than learning to navigating the stairs (we aren't sure she has used them before) she is doing great and behaving liking a perfect lady.
Puffy feels she is the luckiest pup in the world that Rita & MJ found her in the shelter and helped her to get healthy. She thanks Barbara for approving her trip to CA. She had a great time with the Welcome Waggin' team meeting her at the airport - she thought that was a wonderful day and was tickled that Jessica offered to take her home and foster her. She also thanks Kriss for scouting out this most wonderful home for her. Attached is a picture of the new family. Welcome home Jenny!

Snow dogs!
Here are some new photos of Lulu with her brother Sherman that we took up in Big Bear two weeks ago. Lulu will be with us two years on Feb. 26. She was in the first group of three to come over from Taiwan. She is our little love muffin. It was nice to meet you yesterday, David as well as Maggie and Joseph. It was a fun day. My guys were really pooped when we got home.

Update from Jazzy (Rita's Anna)
Dan and I adopted Jazzy, formerly Rita's Anna, last August. I'm sorry it has take me so long to send pictures. Jazzy is doing extremely well after somewhat of a slow start. She has/had 2 yellow lab playmates. They get along great and play all day long. I think being around 2 other well behaved dogs has helped her adapt. I think she was abandoned in Taiwan and didn't seem to get some of the social cues that other dogs get but now she is a wonderful well loved dog. Our oldest lab, Bailey, 10 yrs old passed away in August, so Jazzy is a comfort and a joy. Here are a few pictures of our Jazzy. Thank you so much for all that you do for the Goldens!
With thanks and appreciation,
Nancy

Update from Harrison (Rita's Buddy)
Harrison is doing great! He's got a great personality and is doing well with our family. We've had him almost a full month haven't heard him bark or growl once. He loves Hula, his sister, who we also got from your rescue. He's learning manners and is an awesome dog. He's probably the cutest thing I've ever seen!
Thank you!

Hunter is such a sweetheart, and we can only imagine what his fate might have been if they hadn't cared enough to bring him to the States.
Thank you!

We are so thankful to Maggie and Joseph for their effort in saving these dogs. Even with Cabo's little quirks we love him to death and he has been such a joy to have in our home. I have attached some recent photos of him (sorry I not the best at sharing photos - I take them and then they sit in my camera for ever).
All the best,

Rita's Bailey adopted!
A big congratulations to Rita's Bailey, who found her forever home with Annie, Tony and Ali!
Bailey came to us back in September. I'm surprised at how long it has taken her to find her forever home because she's such a sweet girl, but now it all makes sense - she has been waiting for Annie, Tony and Ali! When Bailey was found in Taiwan she had a growth on her leg that was removed - the results were inconclusive, but thought to be consistent with squamous cell carcinoma. I think this scared a lot of people off. Also, she's a bit prematurely gray around the eyes, but has the heart and energy level of a puppy. She spent some time with Erin and Joshua and their pup Bailey, who used to be Gold Rush Lucy. Then she moved in with Debi and Mark for a while where she played with their Swissie, Forrest.
This is Annie, Tony and Ali's first dog and they are so thrilled with Bailey. Tony is a counselor and Bailey is there to sit with the kids while they talk to Tony. They are an active family and were looking for a pup that could keep up with them. They have fallen completely in love with Bailey and the feelings are mutual.
Bailey is so happy that Rita and MJ sent her to CA, and thanks Barbara D. for authorizing her transport. She is grateful for the time she spent with Erin and Josh, and Debi and Mark for taking her in as a foster pup. She also thanks the CP walking team for getting her out during the time she was in boarding. Finally, she thanks Elaine M. for finding this wonderful home for her and also for facilitating the adoption. She is sooooo happy to truly be home!

Rita's Milo adopted!
Rita's Milo has been welcomed into his forever home by Dennis, Jan, Katie and GRCGLA Rescue, Jiki (formerly Arjiki, www.kentfoto.com/jiki). Milo has been renamed Fender after Dennis's favorite guitar.
Milo is our latest arrival from Taiwan, coming in as a solo passenger. Right away he started charming everyone he met, including other passengers at LAX. Nestor and Bobby took him home to foster and he was a wonderful pup right from the start - easy going, well mannered and cuddly. He came in with paperwork showing he has allergies, including to beef, lamb and rice, cats, ants and even people dander!
Dennis and Jan adopted Jiki a couple of years ago and he's been a wonderful addition to their family. Last year they decided to adopt a senior, Goldie, who only had 3 months with them. After some time to grieve they decided it was time to have more dog hair around the house and contacted us again. Milo's bio and picture charmed them and they asked if he might be a fit. We set up a meeting, and Milo was charmed by them as well. Katie adores him and decided right away he can sleep in her bed. With Dennis home most of the day Milo will have company and looks forward to joining Dennis and Jiki on walks in the hills of Simi Valley. And the family's best friend is a vet, so they have ready help if Milo has any problems with his allergies. As they were finishing up the paperwork Bobby said, "Milo looked at the both of us and said, okay guys, hurry up and take my picture because I'm staying here, now you can go!"
Milo thanks Rita and MJ for finding him, getting him healthy and sending him to CA. He's grateful to Barbara D. for approving his trip and to the Welcome Waggin team for greeting him on his arrival. He really enjoyed his time with Nestor and Bobby and the other pupz in the home, and also thanks Eva for doing the home visit for this wonderful family.

Dennis and Jan adopted Jiki a couple of years ago and he's been a wonderful addition to their family. Last year they decided to adopt a senior, Goldie, who only had 3 months with them. After some time to grieve they decided it was time to have more dog hair around the house and contacted us again. Milo's bio and picture charmed them and they asked if he might be a fit. We set up a meeting, and Milo was charmed by them as well. Katie adores him and decided right away he can sleep in her bed. With Dennis home most of the day Milo will have company and looks forward to joining Dennis and Jiki on walks in the hills of Simi Valley. And the family's best friend is a vet, so they have ready help if Milo has any problems with his allergies. As they were finishing up the paperwork Bobby said, "Milo looked at the both of us and said, okay guys, hurry up and take my picture because I'm staying here, now you can go!"
Milo thanks Rita and MJ for finding him, getting him healthy and sending him to CA. He's grateful to Barbara D. for approving his trip and to the Welcome Waggin team for greeting him on his arrival. He really enjoyed his time with Nestor and Bobby and the other pupz in the home, and also thanks Eva for doing the home visit for this wonderful family.
